Volcanic History of Arizona-1986.Pdf Arizona Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology Summer 1986 Volcanic by Stephen J. Reynolds, John W. Welty, andJon E. Spencer Arizona Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology Although Arizona lacks active volcanoes, it was the site of massive outpourings of lava and volcanic ash during the recent and more distant geologic past. Volcanism not only formed the oldest rocks in Arizona 1.8 bi11ion years (b.y.) ago, but also constructed the State's highest mountains, the San Francisco Peaks, within the last 3 million years (m.y.). Volcanic rocks are widespread throughout the State and dominate much of its scenery (Figure 1). This article summarizes the Figure 1.

A second episode of Precambrian volcanism occurred about 1.1 Volcanic Episodes to 1.2 b,y. ago, but was moreareally restricted and less voluminous than the previous episode.

After this second episode, volcanism was evidently absent in The earliest volcanic episode in Arizona occurred during the Arizona for almost 1 by, or more than half of the State's entire geologic Precambrian Era between 1.8 and 1.6 b.y. ago and formed much ofthe history. During this prolonged volcanic quiescence, which includes all continental crustthat underlies the region today.

  • Geologic Influences on Apache Trout Habitat in the White Mountains of Arizona
    GEOLOGIC INFLUENCES ON APACHE TROUT HABITAT IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS OF ARIZONA JONATHAN W. LONG, ALVIN L. MEDINA, Rocky Mountain Research Station, U.S. Forest Service, 2500 S. Pine Knoll Dr, Flagstaff, AZ 86001; and AREGAI TECLE, Northern Arizona University, PO Box 15108, Flagstaff, AZ 86011 ABSTRACT Geologic variation has important influences on habitat quality for species of concern, but it can be difficult to evaluate due to subtle variations, complex terminology, and inadequate maps. To better understand habitat of the Apache trout (Onchorhynchus apache or O. gilae apache Miller), a threatened endemic species of the White Mountains of east- central Arizona, we reviewed existing geologic research to prepare composite geologic maps of the region at intermediate and fine scales. We projected these maps onto digital elevation models to visualize combinations of lithology and topog- raphy, or lithotopo types, in three-dimensions. Then we examined habitat studies of the Apache trout to evaluate how intermediate-scale geologic variation could influence habitat quality for the species. Analysis of data from six stream gages in the White Mountains indicates that base flows are sustained better in streams draining Mount Baldy. Felsic parent material and extensive epiclastic deposits account for greater abundance of gravels and boulders in Mount Baldy streams relative to those on adjacent mafic plateaus. Other important factors that are likely to differ between these lithotopo types include temperature, large woody debris, and water chemistry. Habitat analyses and conservation plans that do not account for geologic variation could mislead conservation efforts for the Apache trout by failing to recognize inherent differences in habitat quality and potential.

  • Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Foundation Document
    NATIONAL PARK SERVICE • U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Foundation Document Overview Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Arizona Contact Information For more information about the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Foundation Document, contact: [email protected] or (928) 526-1157 or write to: Superintendent, Flagstaff Area National Monuments, 6400 N. Hwy 89, Flagstaff, AZ 86004 Purpose Significance Significance statements express why Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument resources and values are important enough to merit national park unit designation. Statements of significance describe why an area is important within a global, national, regional, and systemwide context. These statements are linked to the purpose of the park unit, and are supported by data, research, and consensus. Significance statements describe the distinctive nature of the park and inform management decisions, focusing efforts on preserving and protecting the most important resources and values of the park unit. • Most Recent Eruption. Erupting roughly 900 years ago, Sunset Crater Volcano is the youngest of 600 volcanoes within northern Arizona’s San Francisco Volcanic Field. • Geology. The monument’s display of plate tectonics, volcanism, and pristine eruption features provides excellent opportunities for science, education, and interpretation in the context of regional and global geology. • Community. This catastrophic event profoundly affected the life of people in the region and left a unique archeological and ethnographic record of human response, adaptation, and recovery. Sunset Crater Volcano and its impressive features continue to be significant to contemporary American Indian tribes. • Ecology. A 100-square-mile cinder and ash blanket smothered all life nearest the volcano, resulting in ecologic succession and a unique assemblage of plants in a largely barren landscape.

  • Arizona Wulfenite 2009 3 12
    Geologic Settings of Wulfenite in Arizona by Jan C. Rasmussen Curator, Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum and Stanley B. Keith, MagmaChem Exploration March 21, 2009 Arizona is famous for its spectacular wulfenite specimens. The butterscotch-colored, bladed crystals from the Glove Mine in the Santa Rita Mountains south of Tucson and the bright red, chunky blades from the Red Cloud Mine in the Silver district north of Yuma are prized highlights of many mineral collections. Most of these famous mineral localities are no longer available to collectors, making the historic specimens even more valuable. Outline Figure 1. Wulfenite from the Glove mine, Santa Rita Alkali-calcic Pb-Zn-Ag Mountains Laramide (75-65 Ma) Glove, Tyndall, Turquoise, Empire dist. Wulfenite is lead molybdate, PbMoO4. It forms Mid-Tertiary (30-20 Ma) in the oxidized zones of lead deposits where the Hilltop, Tonopah, Hull, Red Cloud white needle-like crystals of cerussite (PbCO3) (Silver dist.), Ripsey, Grand Reef, Purple have developed.
